The Argenus Air Sanitizer system is manufactured by the Hunter Fan Company. Hunter is a well known and trusted company that stands behind their products. Their products are known to be efficient, quiet, and durable.

Now Hunter has manufactured the Argenus Air Sanitizer which is also known as the ‘air sterilizer’. This higher level of technology that Hunter has introduced with the Argenus Air Sanitizer captures and kills airborne germs.

The Argenus uses a highly effective method of a barrier filtration in conjunction with electromagnetic attraction. This dual filtration system attracts and kills better than 99% of airborne germs and allergens. This system used in the Argenus offers air quality unmatched by other air purifiers on the market today.

Treating indoor air eliminates the harmful allergens and pollutants that contribute to unhealthy air quality. The Argenus Air Santizer system is head and shoulders above the competing air purifiers offered by other manufactures such as the Ionic Pro or Ionic Breeze. Ionic Pro Air Sanitizers capture airborne particles but Argenus contains and kills the offending airborne particles for a cleaner, fresher indoor air quality.

Argenus uses unmatched technology to capture and neutralize any size microscopic particles. Using an Argenus Air Sanitizer is also very cost effectiveness. Used on a low speed the Argenus consumes only about the same amount of energy as using a single light bulb for a month. In addition, Hunter stands behind its products and offers a full 5 year warranty with a 30 day money back guarantee.

The Argenus is about 20″ x 20″ in width, stands about 24″ in height, and weights about 35 pounds. The Argenus Air Sanitizer is certified to clean the air in rooms with up to 450 square feet in less than an hour. It is recommended to position the Argenus Air Sanitizer in rooms that are used the most. A second Argenus may be needed for adequate air cleaning if the home is divided into more than one common use area.

The maintenance for the system is easy and convenient. The filter should be changed routinely to offer the highest level of air sterilization. The main filter needs to be changed every one to two years depending on the air quality conditions. The Argenus has a filter indicator that lights up when the filter needs to be checked for replacement. The filter is also color coded for easy filter changes.

There is also another prefilter that is permanent, never requiring to be changed. Keeping the permanent filter clean simply requires vacuuming and then replacing it back in the unit. There is also an indicator when the permanent filter needs to be cleaned, which is usually about every three months. Hunter is currently offering for a limited time free Argenus Core Filter replacements for the life of your system.

Hunter Fan Company has manufactured a quiet, high quality air purification system for improved indoor air quality. The Argenus Air Sanitizer is unlike its competitors by capturing and killing the harmful germs and bacteria that deteriorate air freshness.

When we hear about air pollution, we tend to think of outdoor air. However, studies show that indoor air is actually more harmful because of the tight insulation in most residences. Science, of course, has given us a technological solution for this problem, through air- purification devices.

Air cleaners today have come a long way, and several advancements have been made in them. They are increasingly becoming more effective, area specific, and provide a better overall performance. There are several types of air cleaning products available today.

Most air cleaners use filters. These units suck air through the filter into a cleaning chamber. The filter helps to get rid of all unwanted pollutants like pollen, dust, etc., and then releases clean air. Air filters require cleaning at regular intervals. A cleaner that uses a HEPA [high- efficiency particulate air] filter, is especially recommended for hospitals, as it eliminates very small particles as well. HEPA filters are said to have a 99.97% purification rate. This includes the removal of mixtures of solids and liquids in the air. It also benefits asthmatic patients and those who suffer from aerial allergies.

Ionizers are another type of air cleaners. They emit negative ions into the air, which attack and neutralize the positively charged particles. These particles can then be collected either by a special filter or by your walls, furniture and the floor. However, they neither get rid of odorless gases like carbon monoxide nor do they help to free the air of allergens like animal dander, pollen or dust.

UV lamps help in the extermination of living microorganisms like viruses and bacteria. Ozone generators create ozone, which kills germs. It helps to rupture the structure of bacteria and fungus. Air purifiers are also available with carbon filters that clear the air of chemicals, fumes and smoke. They are particularly effective in the removal of tobacco smoke.

The quality of air we breathe and houseplants are getting more and more related to every day. Many physicians recommend a relaxing hobby like gardening for their patients who suffer from stress-related diseases. But it was proven that indoor growing plants can also reduce the risk of asthma, allergies and “Sick Building Syndrome.” The Agency for Environmental Protection has cited the indoor air pollution as one of the top five public health threats in America, and the main culprit in the sixty percent increase in asthma over the last decade. Now researchers are looking houseplants for a solution to help with indoor air pollution. With the launch of NASA’s extensive study on the use of indoor plants to filter the air the question arises: What houseplants will be the best air filter? With the exception of the dwarf banana plant, which is a very unusual plant, most of the list of NASA test facilities reads like a Who’s Who “of the world of houseplants. They are:

· Known as Ficus benjamina Weeping Fig

· Known as Hedera helix English ivy

· Known as Chlorophytum comosum spider plant

· Aureum Epipiremnum known as Golden Pothos

· Spathiphyllum “Mauna Loa”, known as peace lily

Aglaonema modestum · known as Chinese evergreen

· Chamaedorea sefritzii known as bamboo or reed palm

· Sansevieria trifasciata snake plant known as

· Philodendron scandens Philodendron known as Heartleaf oxycardium

· Domesticum Philodendron Philodendron known as elephant ear

· Dracaena marginata known as Red Edge Dracaena

· Dracaena Dracaena fragrans Massangeana called cornstalk

· Deremensis known as Dracaena “Janet Craig”

Use of indoor plants can be very beneficial in our lives. These plants can purify and renew stale indoor air by filtering toxins, pollutants and carbon dioxide we exhale and best of all, replace them with life sustaining oxygen.

Although it can be assumed that all plants are able to eliminate toxins from our air, research by NASA showed that some house plants are more efficient in filtering toxins than others. Indoor plants known as philodendron, spider plants, and Pothos proved most effective in removing formaldehyde. Daisies and chrysanthemums were very effective in removing benzene, a known carcinogen.

Most plant experts state as a general rule, allow one houseplant per 100 square feet. It is important to note that the more vigorous plant, the more air it can filter. But it is also important to bear in mind that plants will not do much to alleviate smoke snuff or dust in the air.

Despite the results of several studies (including work for NASA), there are skeptics. Some researchers are convinced that houseplants can make a real difference in air quality. Many researchers believe that the conditions that were used to study the plants in a laboratory on a “real life” situation that the results of indoor plants air filter is not reliable when placed in the real world. Many researchers also believe that the density of plants needed to make a difference in air quality would not be realistic within the space of the home or office.

Researchers who favor the results of indoor plants filter air that are working to overcome the obstacles thrown at them by skeptics. Plants growing hydroponically (in water) overcomes some of the problems in terms of space and the density and moisture needed. Filters with hydroponic plants, fans and activated charcoal will be on the market within a year, and many researchers believe will improve the purification of the air as much as two hundred times. This is due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants do not produce mold spores, and are easy to maintain. These plants were subjected to the empty rooms and it was found that home testing, the rooms without plants had levels of germs in the air fifty percent higher than the plant-filled rooms.

The debate may rage over whether indoor plants clean the air or not (and there is plenty of evidence that they do), but regardless, indoor plants continue to decorate the homes of people who appreciate what the inside of the outer
